Middle school students should be able to exercise their inferential thinking, and the study of Earth history is made to order for this effort. They can begin to grapple with the earth’s processes and systems that have operated over geological time. Students should make observations and do investigations that involve constructing and using conceptual models. They should generate questions for investigation, which may lead to new questions. Through their study of Earth history, students should become more confident in their ability to ask good questions and to recognize and use evidence from the rocks to come up with explanations of past environments.
